With the class of 2023 revealing that 49% of Hawaii’s high school graduates chose to pursue paths other than college, the question arises: Where are these talented individuals finding their first perfect job or career? Traditional job boards, fairs, and hiring signs just aren’t enough. That’s why AlohaHP has partnered with ClimbHI to launch an innovative solution—Exposureships©.
Exposureships are dynamic events where high school seniors can demonstrate their skills, focus, and learning abilities directly to companies that are actively hiring. This initiative is more than just a career fair; it’s an immersive experience that allows students to shine in real-world scenarios while giving companies unparalleled access to emerging talent.
A prime example of this groundbreaking initiative is the upcoming volunteer opportunity for 100+ high school seniors at Hawaii’s largest festival – Made In Hawaii Festival August 23, 24, 25. With over 500 vendors, small businesses, and corporate sponsors, these seniors will gain unmatched access to top employers and crucial skill-building experiences.
